Tim Parks Quotes

Now, Let's Imagine That We Have Been Condemned For Life To Making, Year In Year Out A Burdensome And Nearly Impossible Decision To Which The World Increasingly And Inexplicably Ascribes A Crazy Importance. How Do We Go About It? We Look For Some Simple, Rapid, And Broadly Acceptable Criteria That Will Help Us Get This Pain Out Of The Way. And Since, As Borges Himself Noted, Aesthetics Are Difficult And Require A Special Sensibility And Long Reflection While Political Affiliations Are Easier And Quickly Grasped, We Begin To Identify Those Areas Of The World That Have Grabbed Public Attention, Perhaps Because Of Political Turmoil Or Abuses Of Human Rights; We Find Those Authors Who Have Already Won A Huge Level Of Respect And Possibly Major Prizes In The Literary Communities Of These Countries And Who Are Outspokenly Committed To The Right Side Of Whatever Political Divide We're Talking About, And We Select Them.
